PHASE1

Study of Binimetinib in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This is a Phase I/Ib study whose purpose is to find out if combining an experimental drug called binimetinib with pembrolizumab is beneficial in people who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer. This study may also see if the combination is safe and may also find the best dose of binimetinib that should be added to pembrolizumab.

Official title: Phase I/Ib Study of Binimetinib, a MEK Inhibitor, in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Interventions

DRUG

Binimetinib

Binimetinib is a drug that, inside the cell, blocks an important series of chemical reactions called a molecular pathway. Binimetinib blocks the MEK1/2 pathway from working. In some types of cancers, this pathway becomes too active, which can cause tumor cell growth. Blocking the MEK1/2 pathway from working is thought to slow or stop tumor cell growth.

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug that is approved by Health Canada for the treatment of patients with PD-L1 positive non-small cell lung cancer as a first treatment. PD-1 is a type of protein that binds to another type of protein known as PD-L1. When these proteins bind together, it helps prevent cells from killing each other, including cancer cells. Some drugs, like pembrolizumab, are used to block PD-1 from binding to PD-L1. When the protein is blocked, the body's immune system can kill more cells.
